More Than Enough
Chapter 2: A "great & live is good" day shatters easily
Uh, hi people! The second chapter's here, except… uh, it's not exactly Atoji… ah… hahaha –nervous laugh- omg, I'm so, SO sorry, but as I sat down to type this, wondering how I'm going to get the Seigaku regulars to go to Atobe's party, it just expands and expands, and made the whole chapter all by itself!!!
Yea, so I'm thinking that maybe I should change the summary to something like "a story about Atoji that doesn't exactly contains Atoji in it" or something… just like, a general crack fic, u know? Xcept, those stuff that I wrote ('bout Atobe getting' jealous over Fuji's closeness wit Jirou & da fluff) is ALL true, just, it happens later on, that's all. GOMEN NASAI!!! I just tend to get sidetracked when I wrote crack, that's all (in case u didn't know, this is mah FIRST TIME writing crack, so u can see how I suck at it.)
That aside, next time IS definitely da party, I promise!!! & da drama & da angst & da fluff will be there, too. So if u don't like this chapt. (since it contains no Atoji in it) just check back next chapt. & u'll see it. For sure!! Anyway, I'm sorry fer da lengthy note so I'm gonna shut up now.
It was a clear and sunny day outside, and practice at Seigaku was quiet for a change. (feeling deja vu? Of course! It's still only the same day, but the location is at Seishun instead of Hyoutei Gakuen, that's all.)
In fact, the day was too perfect that it's almost unbelievable, a certain poker-faced captain thought, Momoshiro and Kaido bickered less than usual, Oishi hasn't panicked so far, Eiji isn't as hyper-active compared to yesterday, and most important of all, Fuji hasn't done anything yet! Ah, life is good as the buchou of Seigaku, Tezuka thought contently to himself, and almost smiles if only it didn't seem out of character. (of course it seemed OOC! Why? Because you're Tezuka, Tezuka!)
Of course, like the saying goes, All good things must come to an end. (much to the dismay of said captain.)
Eiji was the first to notice it, as he was just randomly bouncing around shouting "Nya! Nya!", he saw a very big black object sitting just in front of the school gates. Curious, he took a few steps forward to see what it is only to realize it's a "…LIMO??!!!" he creamed out, making the other members jerked around in surprise. (except Tezuka, whom calmly turned his head with grace, showing no hint of shocked on his face)
Tezuka started to get the feeling of a premonition, a bad one, and he can feel the "great and life is good" day shattering in front of his face.
"Oh my god, what the heck is a limo doing parked in front of our school?" Momo asked gaping at the said car. (It might answer the question from the previous chapter, which is "Are the Seigaku Regulars peasants or not", because, apparently, a student whose family owns a limo is a very… uncommon occurrence in Seigaku.)
The limo door opens, and out steps an old man with a mustache in a suit. He then calmly walked towards the Regulars, whom did not have a 'calmly expression' in return. More like staring at him with fish-like wide eyes, except Fuji, (who watched amusedly with his eyes closed) Inui, (whose eyes aren't exactly visible…) and Tezuka (like he'd ever stare wide-eyes like a fish!)
The man walks to where Tezuka was standing and said, "Atobe-sama (at hearing this one word-or is it two, whatever!-Tezuka can really feels the remainings of his "great and life is good" day crumbling beneath his feet.) instructed me to give this to you." With that, he turned around and left. (yeah, polite guy, isn't he, didn't even bother to say 'good day' or anything!)
The other regulars gather around their captain as he tears open the envelope the (impolite) old man gave him. On it says,
To Tezuka and the rest of his peasants,
Atobe-sama the great is going to hold a party tonight in celebration of Akutagawa Jirou's birthday. This is an event that concerns none of you commoners, but (my) Jirou is so sweet and nice and awesome like that that he suggests to invite all of you to the party, too. Really, you should feel quite honored to be invited to such a grandiose party hosted be ore-sama, but well, ore-sama guess it's one of those few fortunes in your pitiful lives, an-h? In any case, be at ore-sama's house tonight at 8:00 p.m. at XXX address.
From the awe-inspiring Atobe-sama,
whom you should bow down and be awed at (no duh!)
Needless to say, Tezuka crumbles the piece of paper and just chuck it randomly at somewhere.
"Saa… seems interesting." Seigaku's tensai comments.
"Che! Monkey King's the same as always." the first-year sighs and looks Tezuka, "Nee, buchou, we don't have to go, do we?"
"Of course n—"
"Saa, Tezuka, isn't that awfully rude? Atobe did send a formal invitation to us all and you're not going to go?" the tensai flash his (angelic but everyone knows deep down demonic) smile.
"I… don't have the time today."
"Hmnn… you know, Tezuka, I just talked to your mom yesterday and I just happened to mention that I love taking pictures. Especially of my teammates and my dear buchou, and she said she'd like to see some of those. Like that certain photo where you--"
Tezuka instantly went white (inside, on the outside he's expressionless, remember?) and immediately said, "Ah, yes you're right Fuji. It'd be rude not to go." The other regulars (especially Ryoma) stares in horror at his sentence. "Well then, I'll be expecting all of you to be at Atobe's party tonight. With that, yudan sezu ni ikou!" (they're going to need that too)
"But buchou-" Ryoma started, only to be silenced by Tezuka's (deadly) glare. "Echizen, didn't you hear what I said? I don't permit rude people to be on my team, and anyone who is can run 100 laps around the campus!"
Ryoma can only pulls down his cap and utters out "Mada mada dane." The other regulars also sigh in exasperation.
Inui mildly wonders what that "certain" photo is that got Tezuka to be willing to go to Atobe's party, but he didn't mind too much of it when he'd no doubt collect other data at said party tonight.
-o-o-o-o-o-
A few hundred miles away, the buchou of Hyoutei was currently racking his brain on how to confess to his crush tonight, sitting on his leather chair in his room that's as big as a commoner's house.
-o-o-o-o-o-
A few miles away from said boy's mansion, another Hyoutei regular was happily snoozing away on his comfy (and humongous) bed (that a certain buchou especially gave to him as a present one time), dreaming of squirrels and rabbits and all happy and beautiful things in life.
Little did he know that in a few hours from now, his life's going to change forever. (ok, so maybe that's kinda an exaggeration, but it makes the story seems more uh, drastic, so yea.)
I'm not gonna even be surprised if no one reviews this thing… I was debating if I should post this thing at all, but like, it's mah 1st time writing Tezuka in a fic so I was quite fond of it. & I like Atobe's "invitation" too, so I thought, ah, wat da heck!
A big thank you to all those who reviewed so far. Special thankx to Haru-Hatori-Hiro fer telling me their birthdays. Don't worry, ur information won't go in vain lol! I'll be including that in da later chapters! U know what's funny? I started writing this as a one-shot. No really! Somehow it turns to be 2+ chapters & who knows how many more there'll be…
gosh I really should stop this (really useless) rambling. Uh, despite what I said, PLEASE REVIEW! Even to say that I suck fer not including Atoji in an Atoji fic lol! Well, until then, ja-ne!
